Description
A middling hustler with a junk habit, a bum knee, and a mind full of ghosts, Ricky Rice is pulled from his life in Utica when a mysterious letter summons him into a ragtag band of paranormal investigators. Their mission is to track down the source of a voice that may be God—or may be something far stranger—while each member confronts the addictions, regrets, and spiritual hunger that brought them there. As the investigation unfolds, LaValle blends disquieting dream logic with fiendish humor, turning a mind-rattling mystery into a deeply human reckoning with doubt and faith. With echoes of literary ambition and genre-bending weirdness, this American Book Award–winning novel asks what monsters we create inside ourselves—and what it costs to listen for meaning in the dark.
